I almost never get lightening here in the PNW but today I did. Love this graph view that shows the storm pretty clearly going past about 2Mi away… I know other folks might find this boring but I thought it was super cool…

Closest that storm got to me was 4 miles.

I am guessing you are using WF2MQTT.

@glenngoddard I’m not familiar with WF2MQTT. This is straight out of the weatherflow web app for my station, drilling down on the lightening strikes. The charts seem to have been updated with the last release and I like how they look compared to the more plain boxes we used to get for a strike…
